We are led to believe that the only means by which several million communist Chinese are capable of expressing their thoughts and opinions is by quoting Mao's little red book To what extent this is true is uncertain, but the prospect is a frightening one Frustration in the area of independent thought is both unhealthy and undesirable.
One needs some medium through which to express oneself Too often, however, the individual making an effort in this direction is thwarted by unthinking contemporaries or over-l&phisticated elders Everyone is born with the instinctive impulse to learn and to create, but this impulse is, unfortunately, often dulled by perhaps well-meaning and sometimes ill-informed criticism In this situation it requires high motivation for the individual to develop his or her potential
This problem becomes more acute in the face of population increase, and thus in a school the size of M.L.C. cannot be regarded as a minor one The means by which one expresses oneself is unimportant, but it is important that this capacity is responsibly and wisely developed while one is still at school so that, confronted with the freedom of adult life, one's vital need for self expression can be fulfilled
This magazine is one medium through which you can express yourself, but it is far from being the only one. Self-expression is not limited to artistic endeavour Any achievement which sets one aside as a unique entity within the education machine can be regarded as an expression of self

Under the new directorshi p of Mis s Elto n musi c i s maintaining it s place in the fore of schoo l life Th e Orchestr a s conducted by Mr H Van Erns t (our "Flyin g Dutchman"), who i s also teaching clarinet and recorder and leading the woodwind ensemble W e welcome two other new full-time member s of the Musi c Staff Mrs Lynette Casey who has previousl y taught sol o singin g and now also takes Musical Appreciation and Musi c Histor y and Literature and Mrs Gwen Runge (Old Collegian) who teaches clas s musi c and singin g in Middle and Lowe r Middle Schoo and conducts the For m II I choir and madriga group New part-time teachers are Mrs A Robertso n who leads the Strin g Orchestr a and Ensemble s and teaches violi n — in the Junio r Schoo l as well , where we have started the firs t junio r 'cello classes ; Mr J Degen of the Melbourne Symphon y Orchestr a who teaches the oboe and Mr G Bradley the teacher of bassoon Thi s year we are pleased to have a bassoon player in our orchestra again
Th e orchestra, under the leadership of Elizabet h Stenning, accompanied during the Annual Church Servic e for the firs t time and added another dimensio n to the worshi p — especially n "Processio n of Palms " by Malcolm Williamson , which the schoo (after som e rather agonizing practices) performed brilliantly
Th e choir' s singin g of "Tho u wilt keep Hi m in Perfect Peace" by S S Wesle y provided a contrast to thi s modern wor k and was greatly appreciated by the congregation Th e Servic e thi s year was held at Wesle y Church to cope with the large number s but even s o this , the largest Methodist Church in Australia, wa s packed to overflowing
Th e Middle and Lowe r Middle Schoo l held their Church Servic e at Aubur n Methodist Church on Sunday 18th April A crowded church appreciated the music prepared by the For m II I choir and For m I I madrigal group and Mrs Runge and Mrs Pownall are warml y congratulated on the singin g of their groups
Th e Senio r Choir by popular request of all it s members i s again practising to perform Handel' s "Messiah " with Scotch College on Wednesday, 15th September, n the Melbourne Tow n
Hall Beside s thi s we are endeavouring to learn all eighteen of Brahms Love-Son g Waltze s for a Vellore Concert in the Assembl y Hal l on 25th June
Th e most exciting event in the Musi c Schoo l wa s the arrival of our long-awaited "baby — a six-foo t "Beckstein grand piano Al l choir member s for the past ten years have a personal interest in thi s as all the fee s from civic performances and broadcasts and profits from "Messiah " and commercial record s have been jealousl y hoarded by Mis s Elton and these, together with a donation from the Parents ' Association, have made it possibl e to purchase a grand piano for Flockart Hall
Som e of the young Old Collegians had a chance to wor k with our new grand piano during Apri l when they came from all points of the compass to weekl y rehearsal s n preparation for the Old Collegians' Club Annual Church Service Th e "old " girl s had a marvellou s time exchanging gossi p and singing
Th e Madrigal Group i s again preparing for concerts with the Wesle y Glee Club and i s endeavouring to make itself heard above the male voices in two madrigals and two negro spirituals
Thes e are to be sun g at the Vellor e concert the Wesle y Schoo l Concert and the Combined Schools ' Concert
Another Inter-Schoo l event wa s the Annual May Musi c Camp which was again held at M.L.C and which a number of our orchestral players attended W e thank Mr Woodgate and Mr Turne r for making available the School' s musi c resources
I n second term we are holding our firs t Senio r Schoo l Concert We are planning a two-day Festival Th e firs t part s to be held on the last Wednesday of term and wil l be a slightl y different versio n of the traditional Inter-Hous e Musi c Concert
Th e second part i s our new concert, at which items wil l include the winnin g house in each section of the Contest as wel l as an exclusiv e number of the most outstanding soloist s and ensembles together with the Senio r Choir Orchestr a and Strin g Orchestra Whil e the Musi c Recital display s the special musi c tuition at the schoo l and the Inter-Hous e Musi c Contest involves all girls , the Schoo l Concert wil l present the very best performances from every field Because of thi s we confidently expect everyone to attend with thei r friend s and parents on Thursday , 19th August, in the M.L.C Assembl y Hall
JAN E STUBB S ft
We congratulate Jane Stubbs on her appointment as School Pianist for 1971. Editress.
Senio r Speech Night drawing to a conclusio n the 1970 schoo l year, was held on December 11 n the Melbourne Tow n Hall
W e were particularly honoured to have Mrs D J McCarthy, principal of M.L.C Elsternwick , and an Old Collegian, to present the prize s and to give u s an interesting address
Th e programme began with a hymn followed by the prayers and responses Th e masse d singin g included two items especially arranged for the occasion by the conductress Mis s Jane Elton who was ably assiste d by the pianist s Margaret Douglas and Jane Stubbs and at the organ by Mis s Constance Mellor One of these items, an extremely difficult five-part arrangement of Haydn' s magnificent choru s "Th e Lor d i s Great" , proved to be one of the highlight s of the evening
Followin g a "Revie w of 1970 " by the Senio r Prefect Robyn Hewitt, and the Vice Senio r Prefect, Su e Gedye, the Senio r Madrigal Group led by Anne Leggo and Robyn Smith performed highly sensitiv e interpretations of two sixteenth-century madrigals by T Morley, including hi s classi c "Ho , Wh o Comes Here"
Th e Principal' s report wa s followed by the Senio r Orchestra led by Rosann e Pittard, and conducted by Mis s Jean Starling , whos e years of hard wor k and effort culminated in a firs t clas s performance of musi c by Percy Grainger and Leonard Bernstein' s overture to "Candide"
Th e Senio r Choir and Madrigal Group performed two beautifu extracts from Mendelssohn' s "Elijah " which contrasted with the lively "Alleluia by Mozart Th e fina choir item wa s the gloriou s "Ho w Lovely Ar e Th y Dwelling s Fair " by Brahms Th e performance of thes e was a tribute to the unceasing devotion of Mis s Elton and wa s enjoyed greatly by both the audience and the girl s alike
Th e programme closed with the traditional singin g of the Leaving Song, the Dismissa l Hymn, and the National Anthem I n the Annual Report, Mr Woodgate said that at M.L.C "ou r aim within a Christia n context i s to educate the whole individual s o that sh e may be equipped to meet the challenge of the contemporary worl d and be developed to her greatest potential."
Mr Woodgate went on to comment on the great succes s of the school, not only in the excellent academic results , but in al branches including Speech and Drama, and Music A final word was directed to the girl s leaving schoo to whom he said that they now have the opportunity to put into practice the ideals and tradition s of M.L.C
ROWEN A DOWEL , H.VI.A
When I firs t came to M.L.C at the beginning of the year I wa s delighted to learn that Drama classe s were being conducted within the School I enrolled as soo n as I could and I have enjoyed every moment of it Ther e are very few ways in which one can expres s onesel f and drama provides the opportunity as well as the outlet for self-expression It i s also a way in which one can work , really wor k hard, and actually enjoy onesel f in the process ; for drama i s a combination of hard work fun and relaxation
W e began the year with lesson s on movement and improvisation A serie s of rather gruellin g exercise s were drilled into us Thes e were designed to help u s relax and to develop a better control of our muscle s and limb s (not to mention the good they would do for our figures) I am sur e that no member of the group would deny that after thos e session s that every muscle n a physically unfit body wa s protesting loudly I mysel f could hardly struggl e out of bed the following morning
Improvisatio n and mime were not s o demanding physically, but required more mental exercise Al l our faculties had to come into play during these session s where common everyday practices suddenl y became new and, sometimes , even rather alien One may ask "Wha t s s o difficult about carrying a bag?" but it i s amazing how difficult it s to carry a bag whe n it exist s only in the imagination Hence our power s of observation and imaginative faculties had to be developed and sharpened
Thi s year Mrs Wilso n has introduced a new project for the Senio r Drama group — a radio play It require s an approach entirely different from conventional o r theatrical drama in that the personality of the character i s portrayed only throug h the voice An interesting feature of the radio play i s the us e of "soun d effects" Thi s i s a new medium whic h we are all enjoing and the play promise s to be a great succes s owing to Mrs Wilson' s expert guidance and the girls enthusiasm Th e title of the play being studied i s "Th e Smal l Woman " and tell s of a missionar y in China Being Chines e I am able to help with the pronunciation of the Chines e words , and I mus t admit I cannot help but be amused to hear my fellow students speaking Chinese with a distinct Australia n accent
Th e firs t exciting drama event thi s year wa s the Senio r Hous e Drama Contest; the adjudicator, Mis s Joan Harris , awarding Berr y firs t place with their excellent production of a scene from "Th e Devil' s Disciple" Thi s wa s followed by an Easter presentation of extracts from Clive Sansom' s "Th e Witnesses" Frantic rehearsal s began les s than a week before the date se t for the presentation and Mrs Wilso n felt extremely sorr y that there wa s s o little time to prepare u s for the occasion However in spite of this , it wa s very successfu l thank s to the tremendou s co-operation and team-work of Mr Trigg the girls and Mrs Wilson' s hard wor k and efficient direction
Another event in the second term wa s the Middle Schoo l House Drama Contest on 3rd and 4th June Thi s proved to be an enjoyable and exciting function Th e Coburg Teachers ' College asked permissio n to attend the Middle Schoo l Drama Contest and t i s a great compliment to the Schoo that another institution shoul d consider it worthwhil e to take such an interest in M.L.C.' s dramatic activities
If the Senio r and Middle School s have been kept busy, their Junio r counterparts too have been hard at work On 5th May parents and friend s of the Junio r Drama group attended a delightful performance of a versio n of "Pandora' s Box" Thi s wa s presented in Dwyer Hal l by the Grade VI and For m I Drama student s under the direction of Mrs McGrath It wa s in the styl e of an early Greek play with a choru s telling the stor y which wa s mimed by the other players who were dresse d in Greek tunics
Th e For m II Drama group under Mis s lllingworth' s direction consist s of only five enthusiasti c student s and they would gladly welcome new additions to the group A s yet they have not produced anything but are bus y planning an interesting programme for the near future
Furthe r drama events included a performance in the second term by Mrs Parry' s For m IV Drama group; and on 20th October, Mrs Anson' s For m II I student s wil l be presenting scene s from "Pygmalion " and "M y Fai r Lady"
Thi s term has been a very active one for drama and I am sur e that with the support and enthusias m of the M.L.C girl s thi s creative art wil l continue to grow and develop unti it i s interwoven into the very fabric of our schoo l life
CERIS E LIM , H.VI.J
Th e For m IV Drama Worksho p aim s to help girl s create a general appreciation of many form s of drama Thi s year they are centring their attentions on both movement and spoke n drama Th e plays performed by the worksho p on Thursday 17th June were "Shal l W e Joi n the Ladies" , by Si r Jame s Barrie , which i s a comedy of manners ; "Th e Crimso n Coconut" a farce; "Quee r Street" , by Joh n Kelly , a comedy; and two scene s from Willia m Shakespeare' s play "Juliu s Caesar" Th e scene s performed were the firs t and second from Act Two
Th e For m I V Drama Worksho p has increased it s enrolment thi s year to twenty-four Th e girl s have worked with vivacity and enthusias m sinc e the beginning of firs t term, in preparing for the performance in June The y have been guided all the way by Mrs M Parry , who endeavoured to improve the girls acting abilities, their actual stage work , and performances
Al l the girl s have benefited from thi s guidance and I am sure wil l reach an even higher standard by the end of the year
FION A DUNNER IV.J
Th e Senio r Hous e Drama Festival, on 22nd and 23r d March, saw si x plays which reached if not surpassed the usuall y high standard, with few points separating the results ! Fro m a selection including Shakespeare Sherida n or Shaw four house s opted for Shaw , and two for Shakespeare , which gave the plays, although not a diversity of style at least a clear range of material with as many comedies as tragedies or semi-tragic plays
Berr y won the honours , with a skilfull y wrought performance of Shaw' s "Th e Devil' s Disciple" and gained commendation for their ensemble playing, attention to the inherent wit of the play and something more intangible their general spirit Moreover Stell a Heley as General Burgoyne wa s nominated "Bes t Performance " of the Festival Congratulations go also to producers, Annette Rubenstei n and Su e Coxsedge
Krome' s "St Joan " achieved second place cited for som e significant performances, a good interpretation, and a beautiful, yet unobtrusive set, whil e Mis s Joan Harris , the adjudicator, awarded Cato's "Yo u Never Can Tell " thir d position for an amusing and polishe d play
It i s regrettable to have to apply the criterion of mark s and "placings " to the plays for Fitchett's "Twelft h Night" Tiddeman' s "Midsumme r Night' s Dream " and Nevile' s "Arm s and Th e Man " had merit which could not be measured quantitatively, for the wor k that went into them — on the sets , the performances, the programmes the technical stage points — wa s more than self-evident
Apart from that and other obstacles, the plays survive d as, in our opinion viable and entertaining pieces of wor k each with their especially redeeming features be it Fitchett' s setting or Berry' s cohesive acting
In all, it wa s an interesting and enlightening two nights, and the Festiva l deserves, we are sure , increased audience attendance in the near future
An innovation in the H.S.C time-table occurred thi s year, in that additional to Friday' s "Ope n Period" "Libera l Studies " took place on Monday and Thursda y afternoons Thi s new concept — "Libera l Studies " — can be easily explained in term s of a broadening of the general education of the senio r student in that it attempts to mitigate ignorance of our social milie u (discounting that learnt n four or five allotted subjects) Thus a basic objective knowledge of political platforms educational questions , the positio n of the aborigine in Australia n society and element s of culture can be engendered
In the spher e of politics, M.L.C wa s fortunate to hear Mr Gordon Bryant, M.P., and Senator McManus, speaking on the A.L.P and D.L.P respectively; explanations of Libera l and Country Party policy are expected next term
Dr Clevenger a visitin g American educationist at present at Monash University , exchanged view s with hi s audience on education in America whils t one semina r wa s held by H.S.C to discer n the purpose of secondary and tertiary education In the spher e of education also Dr O Parnaby Master of Queen' s College, Melbourne University , gave hi s impression s of "Student s Today " — which stimulated som e interesting disparitie s of opinion on student courtesie s and co-education from hi s audience!
A variety of view s on the aborigine today wa s gained from lectures by Mrs White, Lecturer in Anthropology at Monash University who had actually experienced their tribal life; Deaconess McKecknie of the Presbyteria n Church, on the Institute for Aboriginal Development in Alice Springs ; Dr Barri e Pittock an authority on land rights, with a comprehensive commentary on the historica l and legal aspects of thi s situation; and Mr Jame s Galarrwwy, an aborigine, with personal accounts of suc h thing s as urban assimilation Th e film, "I , the Aboriginal " wa s also screened
In the broader spher e of international affairs Mr Simbanash e Mumbengegwi, from Monash, spoke and showed a film on Apartheid in Sout h Africa, stimulatin g an essentia l awarenes s of the situation as it is
Mr Peter s gave a background to China whils t Mrs Lee Dow offered her impression s of China today M.L.C also received a representative from Australia n Volunteer s Abroad to offer her impression s of workin g overseas ; and Mrs Zainu'ddin , a historia n and Lecturer in Education at Monash University delivered a colourfu l talk on Indonesia
Th e arts have so far been represented by Mr Angwin a painter, with an illustrated talk on the cultural centre and it s acquisitions A serie s of film s arranged by Mr Seymou r contributed to "fil m appreciation"
Mis s Sutto n extended our impression s of Richard Mahony from the expressio n novel "Australi a Felix" by outlining hi s developments in the ensuin g book s of "Th e Fortune s of Richar d Mahony"
Finally , Mrs Hitler, from the Sociolog y Department at Monash University gave a very clear picture of the methods and aim s of sociolog y n modern societies
It must be said, at thi s stage, that som e students would tenaciously maintain that thei r ultimate responsibilit y to society and to themselve s i s to pas s final year exams, s o that these lesson s three time s a week distract from thi s purpose
It i s true, however, at the same time, that thi s broader, unaligned information could prove valuable as a sor t of exercis e outside the disciplines , o r even more directly in an Expressio n paper (for although it i s extremely tediou s to orientate learning towards examinations, it has become considered in H.S.C a veritable social necessity)
Needles s to say, the impressiv e lis t of speaker s arranged for Libera Studie s makes clear it s interest and benefits contributing to an awarenes s and understanding of society

Th e "A team won all their Associatio n matches and thi s has not happened for a long time
Sport s Day dawned grey and dismal, but thi s wa s soo n relieved by the masse s of coloured balloons and streamer s erected on the terraces by loyal house supporters Although support from parents wa s les s than in past years the girl s responded with their usua l enthusiasm Thos e unable to exercis e their limb s on the oval used thei r vocal chord s with many and varied war cries
Th e highlight of the day wa s the presence of Mis s Pam Kilborne , an Olympic hurdler , who took great interest n our hurdles , and then her magnificent demonstration left all aspiring hurdler s gasping
Thi s year the trophie s were to have been presented by Mrs Mackay, wife of the Presiden t of the Methodist Conference, but owing to important family commitments at the last minute sh e wa s unable to attend However, her husband ably filled her place and awarded the following trophies: — Under 13 Point s Cup, won by Berry Under 15 Point s Cup, won by Cato Senio r Point s Cup won by Fitchett Hous e Proficiency Cup, won by Nevile
Th e Inter-Hous e Marching Shiel d wa s retrieved by Tiddema n whil e Fitchett gained the Junio r Marching Cup
Fitchett maintained her high standard reached in the past two years by carrying off the Betty Hammond Cup for Aggregate Points
Tota l Aggregates were: Fitchett 712 Cato 6911/2 Krom e 667 Berr y 641 Nevile 5671/2 Tiddema n 525
Th e schoo l wishe s to extend it s thank s to Mis s Perkin s and the Sport s Staff for their untiring efforts in the preparation and organization of the day; to them Sport s Day owe s much of it s success
In thi s bus y worl d that we live in today there i s a worl d of happiness, play and rest, and a worl d of hard wor k and aiming for a greater goal At the camp everyone found that we had both world s combined in one W e came close r to, and had more understanding of the teachers and grew to know each other' s habits W e learned to live communally and each of u s grew more independent having to wash our clothes help to prepare meals and to serv e them Wor k became fun when doing it under clear blue skies surrounde d by every one of Nature' s
beauties Going hikin g with friend s was enjoyed as much as the ripe blackberries growing on the roadside Games were a pleasure when played with both teachers and students
Th e concert was a riot with even the teachers holding their side s in glee, and parents' day wa s liked by both the parents and thei r daughters who had had such great pleasure in decorating the mess-halls A s most people said on arrivin g back at school "Th e food wa s great" W e are sur e that everyone would agree that these camps were highly successfu l and shoul d definitely be continued in the future
VALBOR
G DOWEL L and WILG A KOTTEK ,
Unti l you live with someone it s hard to know the perso n very well Th e third form girl s had an opportunity to do jus t that when they went on camp and found they were able to deepen their relationship s with thei r schoolmates and teachers Th e teachers seemed to relax more and the girl s seemed to be a little close r to them than in the schoolroo m because of the relaxed atmosphere
Assignment s were worked on during part of the day which allowed each individual to wor k at her own pace Fo r the geography assignment they were taken — the girl s at Monbulk — to visi t the Silva n Reservoir It wa s most interesting The y did environmenta work But it wa s not al work Ther e were socia l activities also In the afternoon, volleybal and other spor t was organized Concerts and craft wor k were the activities in the evenings One night wa s set aside for the parents to come and view the living quarters and watch the girl s at their work
Th e communal living helped all to gain a better understanding of one another

"United we stand — Divided we fall."
Fo r quite a whil e now the common cry ha s been that house spiri t and involvement are on the decline but thi s could not possibl y apply to Nevile, as thi s year ha s begun with a marked increase in house spirit enthusiasm and increased participation If thi s team wor k continues throughout 1971, I am sur e Nevile wil l have a most successfu l year
Firstly , I would like to welcome all the new member s of our house and trus t they have discovered the tremendou s spiri t of Nevile, and wis h them much happines s in the best house Another welcome must be extended to our new Senio r Hous e Mistress , Mrs Ashton, who joine d u s thi s year after many years with Krome W e sincerel y appreciate the interest and support sh e has show n in all our activities

Glenda Landsdown ; Junio r Athletics, Miriam Cutts; Junio r Tennis , Robyn Kennedy; and I would personall y lik e to thank Anne Briant, Vice Hous e Captain, for her valuable help
Th e firs t event for the year wa s the Swimmin g Sport s and although we came last it was quite obviou s that Nevile had the best house spirit Thank s go to Jan Wathen for her tireles s wor k with all the swimmers
Th e Hous e Drama wa s a most enjoyable occasion and I am sur e both the girl s involved and the audience gained much pleasure from our play "Arm s and the Man" Vicki Brou s wa s our producer and i s to be congratulated on her outstanding work
Basebal and Tenni s finishe d up extremely successfull y thi s term with Nevile winning the Junio r Tenni s Cup, coming third in Junio r Baseball thir d in Senio r Tenni s and thir d n Senio r Baseball

I hope all Nevile-ite s wil l retain their house spiri t throughout the year and discover the enjoyment to be gained from participation in house activities

Our outing on the firs t Saturday back to Puffing Bill y helped the 154 of u s become more readily acquainted and it did not take long before the new girl s became amazingly wel l adjusted to the ways of boarding hous e life
Th e few social s which girl s have attended, either at other school s or here have helped to make life more interestin g and certainly provide much gossi p for the following few days
We certainly must welcome back our "ol d faithfuls in the form of our Lady Superintendent Mis s Lancaster the two sister s and the house mistresses , Mis s Carter, Mrs Rhodes , Mrs Webber and Mis s McNeil; while simultaneousl y we extend a welcome to to Mis s Adamson, Mis s Alcock and Mis s Bawden who, as an old boarder certainly know s the prank s we attempt Mrs Williamso n must be thanked for helping u s whil e Mis s Carter wa s absent
Th e number of our gir l guides has increased considerably and they have participated in a Chapel Servic e with other companies as well as preparing their own service The y have also attended a week-end camp
Somethin g which could prove to be a great benefit to us i s ouj» S.R.C which wa s formed thi s year and we-hope that it wil l wor k successfully
Our B.P' s (boarders prefects f you're not sur e what thos e letters on their blazer pockets mean) have helped to keep order in the house and must be thanked for the wor k they do (Please try to remember they stil l are humans.)
Our united spirit , which i s evident, wil l help to make it a worthwhil e year for everyone in the boarding house

Tiddeman' s swimmin g team worked extremely hard and their performance at the sport s certainly made u s proud to be Tiddema n girls Our Vice Hous e Captain, Sharo n Gregor, gave the girl s much support and encouragement as our Swimmin g Captain
W e did not do extremely well in our basebal games but the girl s showed great sportsmanshi p and we gained somewhat better result s with our tenni s teams
Gleny s Mitchell and Janet Christi e certainly gave thei r best to Tiddeman in preparation for the Drama Festiva l and even though the result s may have proved a little disappointing to us, the participants gained much personal satisfaction from being involved in their particular activity as participants in all other activities do, and thi s i s something that shoul d be remembered
Th e Athletic Sport s were once again another wonderful event in the schoo year and Tiddeman' s succes s would not have been possibl e without the arduou s wor k done by Anne Jone s and her helpers Th e thril l of regaining the Marching Shiel d wa s of course indescribable
Th e spiri t and enthusias m of Tiddema n has already been show n in the house events we have had thi s year and the quality of our spiri t i s beyond compare — keep it up!

Interviews with old-timers — Learning about the history of
Work-party activity — Cleaning and dusting the folk museum run by the old-timers (Janita Downs)
The smog slithers silently
From the drab, grey streets, An early car passes, Stirring the papers
Lying on the cold, hard roads, The milkman moves slowly
Down the street, His horse moving jerkily In the bitter dawn.
The rain begins to drizzle down, The air is full of an unwelcome stench Of oil, and fish and soggy newspaper.
The paper boy begins his round Carelessly throwing his papers Into the alcoves which hide doors. The streets begin to fill and the rain comes faster.
People starting for the market
Slosh through dark, dark alleys
Filled with old fish-heads and rotting fruit. Cars are rushing, slamming on the brakes; The morning peak hour has struck.
The rain begins to cease, The sun rises overhead.
Shoppers bustle busily
From one shop to another In the hopes of bargains. Then all is quiet in the afternoon until — Screaming and yelling, bursting from doors, Come the children.
Finished is their day at school, Piling on to crowded trains and buses, Stepping on to already packed trains, Heralding the afternoon peak hour.
Then silence reigns, Broken only by the occasional car.
Coloured lights twitch on nervously; THE SEA Then all is still, The city is sleeping, Waiting for the new day.
Sparkling, shimmering in the cool evening air,
As smooth as silk she is, She moves so silently to shore
Moving the still air.
She is a gold, pink and orange, Coloured by the setting sun, Too heavenly to be anything But a haven of peace.
But underneath her mask and disguise, There is a merciless killer
And anyone who stays away
While she is wild and mad
Will live to see another day.
And after she has quietened down
Death and destruction she throws away
To become once again
A sparkling, shimmering, still evening sea.
Sparkling, shimmering in the cool evening air, /Is smooth as silk she is, She moves so silently to shore
Moving the still air.
ELIZABETH NORRIS, I.E
The Dachshund
Sharp nose raised as he centipedes by, three dogs long and half a dog high. A round, smooth hull for his tail to steer and two little squat legs bringing up the rear.
Pride
I am alone.
I close my eyes lest tears should fall, But tears do fall.
I close my ears to gentle words
Lest I admit that I am wrong, But I am wrong.
I close my heart to love, But I still love.
The world goes on.
Suddenly
Suddenly I remember
The other times I've stood here:
Once I laughed
At the basket-valley
Brimming with grass and magpie-song,
Once the sun was rising
And blue cranes challenged the spear-maze Of sunbeams.
On silvered wings,
Once a kookaburra laughed with me
At an elusive echo
We had tried to catch,
Once a flight of brown ducks rose
In the flickering bronze of sunset —
Their wings singing —
To flaunt their skill at me.
Today
There is only A crow.
JENNY PATRICK, H.VI.E
I remember him now
Grey, tall and sleek.
His muscles rippling through his coat. Proudly he stood
His well formed body eager, His gentle, brown eyes, soft, His nostrils quivering with excitement.
He tossed his long, thick mane and With a whisk of his tail
He was gone; Galloping, galloping to his heart's content, He was free and wild
And ruled his own life.
Never would that brumby be captured.
OLWYN JONES, II.F
Great gold god of glory
Rears on tors like grotesque dancer, Screams his challenge to wild storm's fury, Beckoning wind to come and fight. Straining haunches hold him upwards, Dangling forelegs reaching high, Wild voice echoes off his mountains Beckoning wind to come and follow.
Sun glints red on flashing mane, Streams molten silver from his tail
From open mouth his loud voice soundeth Beckoning wind to come to freedom. Piercing light of evening's sunset, Small ears point sharply upwards. Untamed neigh rings over hills, Beckoning wind to come and find.
Fine head framed by golden sky, Nostrils round, dilated, red, Rolling soundwaves carrying voice that Beckons to wind to find the future.
Depression is like a highland mist.. It creeps up silently, and suddenly it is there, enveloping the soul, the mind and body... colouring and discolouring everything around until it is all grey, all cold, all slightly distant. In a strange way, depression can sometimes be comforting and friendly. Like the night. To give one something to think about, cushions the mind; like an old springless couch that has belonged in the same corner of the sitting room for years and years
Depression is like a fog, a highland mist... Silently, imperceptibly — It lifts.
AMANDA STERN, V.B.C
They told me the sun was dying
Told me death-glow of dawning
Streaked the sky
Clutched the earth with tired fingers. They told me the wind was sobbing, Draping misery on huddled sleep.
I reached out and touched the sun, The wind trod softly in my shadowed footsteps
I sent the sun dizzy in circles, I wove the wind in a curtain of helplessness
And I stood on the mountain
And hurled my soul to paradise.
JILL SCURFIELD, H.VI.F
This love is a flower offered to all. accepted by some retained by few.
Acceptance is not difficult but what of preservation?
I can hold the flower within my hands, yet all too swiftly it withers crumbling dust to dust.
ANNE MARSHALL, S.V.C
Candle
A flicker of light in the dark still room Casts shadows which lurk in the deadly gloom; The rafters are flooded with warm pale light From contoured flames in the black of the night.
Death seems to ride in the dancing flame In the leaping shadows no one can tame; The silence is eerie, the emptiness screams, Then reality shines through the candle's soft gleam.
The Snake
Sss , snake-like sound
Slithering silently Slowly, swiftly, Slithering sss
Snake stands, slipping slowly Soft-bellied snake, Stuck surely, surely, Safe, stretched, serpent.
Strong, so slack, Striking suddenly, Slowly, surely, Slyly slithering slower, slower.
Sleek, slack body
Soundlessly, smoothly, Slithers closer, Soon stretching, strike.
Sss, Sss, striking Sss, Sss, venomous Deadly, Sss, poised. Death has struck.
MERON PITCHER, II.B
Wilderness
Trees enclose me as I walk along
Thinking, listening to the sounds of the bush — The crunch and crackle of leaves and grass, Which feels like a spiky hedgehog, The buzzing of bees, the fluttering of birds; The bell-birds calling far and wide, Across the peaceful wilderness; The sound of a gushing waterfall, Friendly, calling
Pampas grass, soft as woven silk, lies
Peacefully awaiting the tread of humans, Who trample the bush.
I inhale the soft, sweet smells Of the gums of the bush, Of the wattles, Of everything in the wilderness, Lonely, Enclosed in the tall, blue gums, Am I.
CHRISTINE BENNETT, II.B
A hundred times
I have stood
On this highest hill —
And always the mountains
Were made of mist
In the distance — across the plain; Yet never before
Have I stood —
Gazing towards them in the late afternoon —
When the Sun —
Overcome with the sky-sea storm —
Sinks and flounders in a brine of scarlet —
The writhing waves washing her bows
With blood:
And when a western wind
Tosses still the waves
Though the ship is lost.
JENNIFER PATRICK, H.VI.E
And he lay in his wurley, his house of bark, on his back in the darkness and his eyes shone in the darkness. He looked through a crack in his wurley's roof. He saw a piece of the moon and shreds of cloud. He saw the cloud pass the moon, clutching it with merging tendrils. He saw them turn silver as they neared the moon as a man's hand turns yellow in the light of his camp fire. He saw them turn white stark white, as they touched it. He saw them pass like shadows, creeping before it. Those clouds seemed so near, so near that he felt he could touch them, and he stretched out a white-palmed hand towards the crack in his wurley roof, and he touched the rough bark that framed his clouds and moon, but he could not touch them.
I get on the bus.
The busdriver smiles.
I know him.
I am his first passenger. The sun grows brighter We stop.
A lady gets on and she says "Good morning". We go further.
There are my friends. We laugh together talking of things
And now it is evening.
I do not know the busdriver
He is cross: no one will move down the back of the bus.
It is crowded.
I talk to my friend
She says "You do not understand".
The sky is getting darker
And with such a clear morning I have done nothing.
LYNDAL ROPER, IV.E
How could they be so near and yet so far away?
The crest of a tree he saw, black against the white cloud. He saw the slender branches holding each a leaf gently swaying, making a moving mosaic of silver cloud and black leaves. A soft beam of light fell from the moon on to his tree, bathing it in soft white light. He sat up quickly. Had his tree touched the moon? He rose and went from his wurley into the dark night where the crickets were sharpening their stone-headed spears on stone, scraping them together. And he looked about him and saw humps that were the silent wurleys of his people, looming in the shadowed darkness. He walked into the bush on flat-soled feet that were silent in the dust. He stopped in a small clearing where his spirit tree grew and he looked up and saw the moon, full. He stood still for a long time, his dark erect body blending with the dark bush. And he watched the clouds pass slowly, slowly, like ghostly sentries treading the pathways of the sky. He stood immobile, never moving. Then slowly he raised his arms upward and he curved his hands around the curve of the moon, and the chain of clouds broke, and the moon shone on his hands and turned them a ghostly white, and he whispered in wonder to the moon, to the clouds, to the darkness "I have held the moon, I have held Karkurra, I have held the moon."
I trudged hopelessly into the evil of the night listening to the wolves' continuous howl.
Fear crept , and upon Dead silence I awoke unafraid.
Stands erect, Head held high, To be conquered, she muses, Better to die!
To be dragged, in chains, Through the mocking streets, To lose the freedom, She has gained, With a passionate war-like pain. Like the fallen trees, She might fall and die, Her robes in tattered array, Life is whirling past, it will not stay, She clutches, sobbing, at the patchwork reflections of her life.
One jab is fast, life is past, It is over now.
Her proud defiance, crushed, On the war-parched ground.
CHRISTINE FALK, Grade VI.C
As I sit on the old wire fence, I can see the orange-red blaze of the sun slowly disappearing behind the purple hills.
The kookaburra is sitting on a tall ghost gum, chuckling to himself.
The distant cows are moving softly and slowly towards the dam to drink.
The light is slowly fading, and the world becomes a soft quiet purple.
The day has ended.'
BELINDA ELLIS, I.B
Slithering, silently over the ground, King of the Underworld, returning home, The cold icy glance of his colourless eyes, Sparkling white fangs, with the venomous bite, He rears and stays rigid, His body slowly swaying, The little brown mouse
Sitting petrified and praying, The tongue flickers quickly, Then turning and twisting he strikes, Quick as lightning, The little mouse writhing, His hazel eyes filled with horror, As the lord slowly tightens His gleaming tan body Around the poor mouse. The King later returning,
A sleek and fatter creature than when he set out, Of the mouse there is no sign, Only one drop of blood, On the graceful serpent's back.
WILGA KOTTEK, II.B
Future is time tunnelling through sorrow and grief, through times of laughter and joy, But never reaches its hard and worthy destination.
I feel alive, I sit and watch. The sun glares down I'm happy and free. Butterflies dance And dandelions nod; The songs of birds Ring ceaselessly. It is so warm, The smell is sweet.
Dappled shadows
Smother the ground. Bees are humming
The kookaburra stares. I love this peaceful Spot I've found.
An ominous swelling on the sea's surface
As a powerful animal strains at its leash. Impatient grumblings in its sandy stomach. Swelling, swelling, Curving gradually into a snarling tip. Waiting, waiting then
Crashing down, engulfing all in its foaming white jaws. Frothy turbulence in its wake
Boiling angrily at startled swimmers
On its watery rampage to shore. Then slowly, imperceptibly, it lessens, Weakening.
Until it is a submissive trickle at children's feet, Passively gnawing the sand.
SUE DOUGLAS, III.A
A cluster of fresh gum leaves, Gently swaying in the pleasant breeze Is rustled by the fluttering wings Of a graceful, gleaming white bird.
Then —
The quiet is broken by the shrill cry Of this magnificent creature
As it soars high into the clear, blue sky, Heading homeward towards purple-hued hills.
Horse
Out on the prairie, Rearing, bucking, Fighting, springing, A wild horse, Tall slender, Lifting up his gentle head And neighing. Sound rising into the air.
WILGA KOTTEK, II.B
On the hillside two white colts play. Bright as the sunshine, quick as the day. White hooves flashing, pink eyes clear, Gallop and spring, prance and rear.
White tails waving, white ears pricked, Grassy tufts lifted, sharp stones kicked. White manes fluttering in the breeze, Glossy white coats, firm, slender knees.
These two horses, lovely as light, Graceful to watch, even in fight.
Beauty in motion, splendour great, Dashing o'er the moor at a terrifying rate.
Lying to rest, beneath an elm tree, Wild, beautiful, proud and free — Wild brumbies.
It reached from tree to tree, Like a piece of fine silk; Sparkling in the early morn — A spider's web, Wet with dew that shone Like diamonds.
I stand pinnacled on pride.
Disdainful of those below, And hesitate to proclaim
What my heart whispers into my soul of the Equality of Men.
My intellect rejects the idea.
It is inconceivable that I am no better than those inferior to me. u.i.u
The winter dawn comes
And with it the many songs of the night snow
And the cold stars of a half-world.
And the man wandering in the half-world
Has for a staff the long icicle of the sharp night
And for a coat the yellow blanket of the snow-sky.
The fruits on the tree are many —
First-fruits born of a winter's whim,
And the man
Clutches with freezing fingers
At the freezing night —
But scratched and bleeding
A half-man stands
In the ice-shadows of the trees.
JILL SCURFIELD, H.VI.F
New York
The day is dawning, Thick smog surrounds the city. Drizzling rain falls lightly
On the hard, cold concrete.
The air is cold
And seems like a thick wet blanket. Somewhere in the dark, dank streets
A young child is crying for want of food.
The wind cuts the air like a knife,
Great, tall buildings tower to the sky.
Higher they reach, higher, While a child wanders
In and out the city streets, Lost, unhappy and homeless.
SUSAN PHILLIPS, I.B
Blooming, Dying, Sunning itself, Crying for water, Seeing the stars at night, The desert flower among the rocks Tries to shine with all his might.
Wind
A whirlwind
Swooped boisterously down, It blew an echoing call. Down the fields it rushed, Leaving a trail of destruction behind. It billowed, It endlessly blew, A merciless whirlwind, Twirling skyward, Clutching its pride.
Darting, Zipping, hunting.
Alert, alive.
A quicksilver splinter of life
The fish.
SUE DOUGLAS, III.A
Broken fragments of sun
Filter through clouds like wisps of lace, Birds stir their last, Hanging bark swings.
Betelgeuse
Glows yellow in his glory, Moon
Silver in her magnificence.
Eternity stills the night.
Sleeping Quiet
Silence stretches to infinity.
LORNA SCURFIELD,
Rolling, rolling, Never stops crashing
Against the cliff
A vast endless stretch of water, Deep, deep water.
Hundreds of feet down.
A murky colour of green and blue, White breakers speeding across The face of the sea, Tidal waves crashing into ships
Destroying everything in their path.
JENNY COWAN, Grade VI.A
Slowly and softly
My hopes fell —
Not with a crack
Or clatter and sudden shock,
But only a small flutter.
No struggle —
Only heaviness and pain
As they touched earth:
Like the smallest headline
In a newspaper —
Bearing the hardest tragedy.
They are the early morning people
They move like a distant dream
Within the pageantry of sunrise
Faces drifting in a forgotten corner
Memories, like the scent of apple blossom
Fall helplessly, summer rain
Sounding on the hollowness of empty faces
Gliding like grey birds through the waiting streets
Grey birds climbing a dizziness of stairs
Images embalmed in their own creation, Hieroglyphs crouching on a hidden stone —
They are the early morning people
Sighing like forgotten sorrows
In the bursting chrysalis
Of a shimmering day.
Come with me and live so free
And we will live in an apple tree; The apple tree will be as high as you can see, So if you come to live with me, We will have apple pie for tea.
ALISON LYALL, Grade 3B
The full moon rises, mist darkens the world, the streets are deserted, lights glitter along the road, till dawn and the city moves again.
CAROLINE FRY, Grade 5B
Cat's fur is as soft as silk, They like meat as well as milk. Some cats have long hair, some have short, They eat little birds they shouldn't have caught. Their feet move softly on fat little pads, Not loud and heavy like my dad's. Their eyes shine on the darkest night, And make a light all sparkling and bright.
MIRIAM LEUBA, Grade 5B
Cars stretch
Like a worm On the road In front —
One screen Wiper Digs up The water
The other one Tosses it Into a heap —
With my nose
In a rose I see leaves Down the road Blow over and over And tumble And over and over —
Good morning — I give my rose, A cup of jewels, /f prize for you.

Brim
I know a cat
his name is Brim he isn't fat he isn't thin he isn't short he isn't tall but he's the bravest cat of all.
He likes to eat, he likes to drink; his coat is soft and warm like mink, his eyes are of a bright lime green and he's the best cat ever seen.
FIONA TRIGG, Grade 5B
Over the snow
Over the world
Over the rooftops
Over the clouds
In a Golden moonboat.

SANDY JANE, Grade 3A
The Drinking Fountain
When I climb up to get a drink, It doesn't work the way you think; I turn it down and the water goes And hits me righi upon the nose.
EMILY ANDREWS, Grade 4A
The Busy Street
I hear the cars go past; Sometimes, I hear them going too fast; I hear the sound of busy feet, That's the sound of Busy Street. The trucks and buses go so slow Where they are going, I don't know. I hear the sound of rustling feet, That's the sound of a busy street.
BERNADETTE
GLASSER, Grade 3B
The wind whistles loud and low. The leaves fall from the trees and make a trembling trembling sound like witches flying through the sky.
SANDRA ROBINSON, Grade 4B
Song
Wind, wind
Blow my hair, Wind, wind Blow to me, Thank you, Thank you.
Wind, wind Blow my horse, Wind, wind Blow to me, Wind, wind
Please come to me. Yes, yes, wind says.
The Zoo
I am going to The zoo and I think I'll see Tigers and I think I'll see The Kangaroos Jumping so far and I think I'll see the monkey climbing on a bar.
There is such a lot to see when you're at the zoo. I'd like to see every animal, would you? but
mummy says it is too big but I will, one day, I think.
PHILIPPA SCURFIELD, Grade 1
KATHY JANE, Grade 3B
Rose
A rose may be prickly but I think they are very nice and slim. Their petals are like velvet so soft and thin. They weep when the wind whispers in their ear.
And they come in all shapes and sizes with colours of the rainbow.
Warm with the sun, light with the moon, and if you don't like
Rose you better go to the doctor's room.
KARIN TODY, Grade 5A
From "Bluebell" , 1911
I've scratched and scrawled for a blessed week, Seven livelong days I have heard the squeak Of my neighbour's pen — and I hope I'm first, For my poor old brain has nearly burst. Let's see, there's spelling — I think 'twas right, But about the meanings I'm hopeless quite Is 'mackerel" really a Scottish town, Or a thing you wear when the rain comes down? "Bacchanalian" a Sixth Form word for "fun" "Millennium" that's when exams are done! While "Heterogeneous" is pudding, I think, Or is it the brand of the College ink? What king was partitioned about a law? Poor man! A most painful fate, I'm sure. Was it James who hurriedly lost his head? Stay, no — in the cause of Home Rule he bled Well, the Pyrenees are a dark skinned race, The sun's going round at an awful pace — And so's my head — I feel fit to flop — But I do so hope I shall come out top
"Mathematical subjects are generally considered the hardest for girl students, but our results of the last two years at the Junior Public Examinations go a good way towards proving that constant, steady effort in well-graded classes of moderate size will secure excellent results. This year we had no failures in Algebra. In the previous year the results were similar."

"Miss Ethel Robbins and Miss Winifred Fisher have passed their Second Year Arts, and they are the only two in the First Class of the Honours list in History, Miss Robbins gaining the Exhibition." She wrote to Dr Fitchett "claiming a half holiday for the school in commemoration of the event, which was most enthusiastically enjoyed on Wednesday, November 30th."
1910 — Bluebell.
900 lines to be "learned and conned by rote". This annual examination was on a single play by Shakespeare (a different play each year).
Some time before 1910, the examination happened to fall in the middle of the tests, and as a result was somewhat neglected On the day, girls from other schools were viewed with interest and in trepidation, and the boys "were treated as ciphers, for we well knew that they considered Shakespeare a mere trifle compared with the momentous question of how many cadets they would send to camp An end was put to such observations by the summons to the room of torture".
Papers to the right of them, Papers to the left of them, Papers in front of them, Crackled and tore; While aged examiners, Looking like ruffled curs, Grumbled and purred There did they meet their fate Each cheering up her mate Brave Upper Sixth!

The Methodist Ladies' College completes the list of the great public schools which do so much honour to Melbourne, and make it, practically, the educational capital of Australia This college, which is only two years old, owes its origin to the feeling on the part of the leaders of the Wesleyan Church that the education of girls was at least as important as that of boys. .. . The Methodist Ladies' College represents the new and modern conception of the place women are to take in the world.
A site in Carlton, opposite the Exhibition buildings, and having a frontage overlooking the Carlton Gardens, was originally chosen On mature consideration, however, this site was abandoned due to the crowded buildings and the dusty streets of a busy suburb. This site was accordingly sold for some £7,000, and an admirable position chosen in Kew. The procession of lady-like girls travelling from all the suburbs, and hurrying from the Glenferrie station to the college every morning, makes a picturesque and pretty sight While the college is thus readily accessible from the City, it has all the advantages of the country Kew is reported by the Registrar-General, on the authority of its health statistics, to be "the healthiest spot in Australia", and this is easily credited by anyone who stands on the college grounds and breathes the pure air, and looks round on the encircling fields and gardens
The schoolrooms, class and music rooms, etc., are spacious and airy, and with bright school furniture, gas, electric bells, fireplaces, etc., have a very comfortable and unschool-like look. Nothing could well be better than the domestic arrangements. The dining hall is nearly 60 ft in length, and with its pictured walls, bookcases, etc., makes a very fine room There are no warddormitories, but, instead, long ranges of comfortably carpeted and well-ventilated bedrooms, furnished throughout with great taste and comfort The grounds are well supplied with croquet lawns, etc., an asphalted tennis court, equal to anything the Melbourne Cricket Club possesses, summer-houses, etc
The college is governed by a large committee It is wholly undenominational, though thoroughly Christian, and systematic Scriptural instruction is given in every class. A well-known and popular minister, the Rev. W. H. Fitchett, B.A., is president. The staff includes Mrs. Tiddeman, Miss Fraser, Miss Fitchett, Miss Hotchin, and other highly qualified teachers
Great pains are taken to make the home lessons as light as is compatible with the progress of the students The standard of work is high, and yet "cram" or strain is avoided with the utmost watchfulness, and in the college all studies cease at 8 p.m How admirable is the general tone of the college may be judged by the fact that, while the only penalty in force is the loss of "good-conduct" marks, out of 150,000 possible good-conduct marks during the last half-year, only 98 have been lost.
Its popularity is shown by the large number it attracts It already has a larger number of resident boarders than, perhaps, any other similar institution in the colony Amongst the number are young ladies from New South Wales, New Zealand, Tasmania Western Australia, etc A great future is no doubt before the Methodist Ladies' College.
—Excerpt s from Newspaper Article on M.L.C
Edward Cornell was a pioneer who came to Melbourne in 1856 Many of his descendants have attended M.L.C : Sarah Ethelwyn Cornell (1885), the fourth Dux of the College, later appointed secretary to Dr Fitchett; Elsie, sister of Sarah Ethelwyn; Catherine Cornell (1925-1935), and her sister Lena; Betty McCutcheon-Cornell, Vivien and Pat Williams and Marion Ethelwyn Dudley (1956), great-grand daughter of Edward Cornell.
The School thanks the descendants of Edward Cornell for allowing these excerpts from his journal to be published in Silver and Green.
Journal by Edward Cornell of a Voyage from Liverpool to Melbourne for H.M. Royal Mail Clipper "Red Jacket", under Captain O'Halloran.
May 20th, 1856, Tuesday — About eleven o'clock this morning the "Red Jacket" commenced weighing anchor, and assisted by two steam tugs proceeded slowly along the Mersey
May 21st, Wednesday — Most of the passengers have been taken sick today and it is amusing enough to those few who escape, to watch the progress of the infection among those on deck.
May 24th, Saturday — We have had our first week's rations served out today, they are not distributed separately to each passenger, but we are all divided into messes of ten or twelve We have quite sufficient of most things and if we could but exchange a little quantity for quality it would be well, but on the whole, we must not complain. I soon discovered that bread means "biscuit" and pretty hard biscuit it is. I went below and distributed a few tracts this afternoon, they were gratefully received by most. It was pleasing to see so many carefully reading their Bibles, a matter which is by no means easy below Deck for want of good light, by far the greater number however were playing at cards or dominos The passengers, 460 in number, are a very "mixed lot", English, Irish, Welsh, Scotch and German, the greater part of whom are bound for the diggings at Ballarat and Bendigo Respectable young men are very scarce on board, excepting the Saloon Passengers, with whom we have no connection
Monday, 26th May — Sorry to find that we have thieves on board, yesterday someone purloined all our share of butter and cheese and my pans, knives and forks, etc., are vanishing with marvellous rapidity
Saturday, 31st — Another narrow escape from fire through the carelessnes of the second mate; we do not dread anything so much as a fire on shipboard as besides the improbability of reaching land in small open boats, I do not think the seven we have would be sufficient to contain all the passengers and crew More stringent measures will now be adopted, no naked lights and no smoking will be allowed between decks, and the first passengers found striking a light below is to be put in irons
Sunday, 1st June — A sabbath school was commenced below today and between 20 and 30 children attended.
At a little after 10 the ship's bell tolled in true church time to summon the passengers to church; the service was held on the Poop Deck and a large number attended and we heard a simple useful sermon, from "Acquaint thou thyself with him and be at peace."
Tuesday, 3rd June — A man is ill with small-pox on board; we all hope that it will not spread any further, else we may be detained in quarantine for 40 days There are several hospitals in different parts of the ship, but in dangerous and infectious cases, the patients are placed in the fore-part, this man has a temporary house to himself situate on the forecastle
Wednesday, 11th June — We are now becalmed, having only travelled 16 miles in 24 hours.
Friday, 13th June — After 3 days calm we are again in motion. We hope soon to be in the "S.-E. Trades".
Monday, 16th June — Another auction sale took place today, this time I put up a few articles by way of an experiment, a few of which were the following A pair of razors, cost 2/6 sold for 4/6; a hdkf, cost 1/1 sold for 2/- and a tie, cost 6 1 /2d sold for 1/6, we had a plain proof that the passengers are not short of provisions, as a 6 lb tin of preserved meats only realised 1/1 Most of the articles sold at the stores are charged exorbitantly Butter 2/- per lb., cheese 1/6, a small jar of preserves 2/-.
Wednesday, 18th June — According to the Captain's calculations we crossed the line at about 24 min by 12 last night; the sailors managed to extort sundry bottles of liquor and glasses of grog from some of the more timid and credulous passengers as the fee of exemption.
There was preaching held this evening between decks by a young man from Cornwall and in future it is arranged that there shall be three services held, other preaching or Prayer meetings on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 7 p.m
I am rather surprised at the course our vessel is taking, we are now only a few hundred miles from the coast of South America. I believe our proposed course is direct hence along the South America coast to Rio Janeiro, thence south, we shall then take an easterly direction straight for Port Phillip
Saturday, 21st June — A little girl about 7 years of age died last night of Scarlatina
Tuesday, 24th June — Becalmed the whole day. Friday, 27th June — I am sorry to find that gambling is increasing to a fearful extent, it commenced a few days back with tossing for halfpence but now it is quite a common thing for shillings, half crowns and even sovereigns to be staked on a throw of a dice
Sunday, 29th June — Thanks to the Captain we were provided today with a very grand dinner; preserved fowls, bacon, potatoes and greens and a large apple pie to finish with, we thought it made a little change from the almost endless round of soup, rice and potatoes
Sunday, 10th August — This morning our eyes were gladdened by the sight of land looming in the distance, but when supposed to be within about 15 miles of the "Heads" immediately after sunset, the Captain gave the order to "bout-ship" and again put out to sea, not venturing any further without daylight
Wednesday, 13th August — On Monday afternoon the Government steamer came up and took off our mails and immediately after we set sail and with considerable difficulty, the passengers assisted, succeeded in getting within the Heads where we dropped anchor
On Tuesday we sailed safely through the dangerous channel and came to anchor for the night about 7 miles from the shipping This morning, a steam tug soon brought us to our anchorage among the shipping. In the course of an hour I was once more treading on terra firma on 19th August, 1856

As president of the Old Collegians' Club for 1971, it is a pleasure to greet you all. It has been my privilege to meet some Old Collegians whom I would not perhaps have met and I am grateful to them for their help and encouragement I look forward to meeting many more club members before the end of the year
This year's council represents many age groups, so with the thoughtful help of the conveners we have organised functions which, we feel, will be of interest to everyone
At the suggestion of some of our members we have revived Back to School day on Show Day, 23rd Sept., and we are also pleased to help and encourage the formation of a Younger Set, for girls who are leaving school These girls are most welcome to join, and Mrs Poustie will be pleased to hear from them
I would like to take this opportunity to thank members of council for their support, especially the office bearers, Janet Galley as Honorary Secretary, Wilma Tamblyn as Treasurer, Mrs Janet Secomb, the immediate Past President for her willing help, and Nancy Curry our Editress, who is leaving for overseas at the end of the year. I would like to say how grateful the Council is for her untiring work in collecting information and news — we wish her and her husband a wonderful trip.
To Mr Woodgate, Miss Barbara Sutton, Miss Mavis Lancaster, Mr Turner the Bursar, and other members of the staff we extend our gratitude for the ready cooperation and advice we have received
My best wishes go to all Old Collegians for a happy and successful year

Early Buildings
Th e Bath' s Buildin g wa s a soli d two-storied structure , the whole of the lower floor formed a white-tiled swimmin g bath, it s depth from three feet to five feet, with dressin g rooms , etc During the winter months the baths were covered over with large fitting wooden planks and then used for sports concerts parties and "detention " room etc
Th e upper floor wa s divided into two classrooms , and a large spaciou s well-li t studio Th e studi o wall s were decorated with pupils ' paintings and drawings and names and initial s of pupil s and students, who had "graced " the studio What a pity thi s building wa s demolished — the firs t schoo l to have both "Baths " and an "Ar t Studio" What a historica l building it would be today!
An Early Teacher
Mis s McGregor Jone s started as an art teacher in 1882 with one pupil as Dr Fitchett said sh e wa s " a hen with one chicken" Sh e wa s trained at the Melbourne Ar t Gallery and thos e close to her found her an excellent and conscientiou s teacher fair patient, wel read, a natural humourist , and intensely interested in all her wor k and in all her pupils He r paint-splashed overall, which carried a Bohemian artistic atmosphere of cedarwood and oil paints through the Bath s building, her lively brown eyes, her draftsmanlike hands and her tight grey bun of hair were well known to her pupil s who included Dora Wilso n and Aileen Dent Sh e wa s known affectionately even to her face as "Lambie" and sh e encouraged her pupil s by taking them outdoor s to paint and sketch Pupils ' paintings decorated the Melbourne Tow n Hal l at all speech nights unti 1922 Mis s Jone s taught at M.L.C for 4 1 years from 1882 to 1922 and died in 1943 well over 90 year s of age

I wa s very impresse d with the magnificence of Cape Tow n as we saile d into the harbour on a hot, sunn y day and later fascinated as the wonderful grey-white "table-cloth came down over the mountain Th e department store s were very handsome and prosperous and the ladies shopping wore hats and gloves as we used to do before the "casual " era in Melbourne
I saw sno w falling on the Commons several days after I arrived in London I have never seen it before and it wa s worth the long journe y to see thi s marvellou s sight I travelled regularly to Hyde Par k and saw the firs t crocu s and daffodils bloom near Marble Arch
We also saw sprin g on the Continent, loved Brussel s especially the great square surrounde d by old building s very colourfull y decorated with coats-of-arms and banners We visite d the battle field s of Waterloo about an hour by bu s through the forest which was simila r to the beautiful country of Surrey
Th e Dutch were very kind, friendly and helpful W e were in Amsterdam for tiie 25th Anniversar y of Liberation Th e few minutes silence at 8 p.m on the evening before wa s very moving, as they had suffered s o much We saw Anna Frank' s room a memoria to all the Amsterdam Jews After staying in the rich and comfortable city of the Hague we visite d Delft the Dutch versio n of Bourton-on-the-Water in the Cotswolds, a dream town Th e flower market on the edge of the canals was a picture with masse s of seedling s n bloom and the tree s jus t sprouting I visited Ulster the home of materna grandparents which has a special place in my heart In Belfast I saw a jeep with soldier s on board Belfast has flourishe d in the 6 years sinc e I last visited
A s the famous "12t h July drew close r I came acros s a road block n Armagh, there were bigger road-blocks because Bernadette Devlin wa s imprisone d n Armagh jail I watched the famous march there on 12th July
Before leaving for Australia, I drove about 7,000 mile s through England We saile d at 1 p.m on 11th August and by 1.30 p.m we were in our life jackets, by our life-boat as "Oriana's " boiler-room wa s ablaze! W e were fortunately in Southampton waters and could clearly be seen — s o 10 tugs, fire-fighting units, ferries , big boats, little boats rushe d to our aid Eventually we sailed home on the Canberra via Panama We enjoyed Nassau Acapulco, Honolul u and the Queen Elizabeth Garden at Vancouver which has 24 varieties of maple trees and other magnificent trees

Than k you very much indeed al thos e of you who have taken the time and trouble to fil l in the somewhat formidable questionnaire which was sent to all Life Member s and al member s who are currently financial I cannot thank you all individually because som e of you have preferred to remain anonymous but I am very grateful to all of you and I have enjoyed reading the replie s which sugges t variou s line s of inquiry
I have particularly appreciated the replie s of those who found the questionnaire too limiting and who after having given brief answer s to the question s which required little more than that, have added extra pages with impression s of teachers recollection s of fellow schoo l friends , reflections on the school as they knew it compared with today's schoo l or an account of what it felt like to be a very new boarder jus t arriving after a very long, tirin g journey I would love som e more description s of the old classrooms , thei r location and equipment, the library, morning assemblie s and any other suc h details
Thos e initial paragraphs were addressed to a tiny ten per cent of the total membershi p of the Old Collegians Come on all the rest of you, WHER E AR E THOS E QUESTIONNAIRES ? Do you realise that we have sent out 1,500 of them and received back only about 150 replies ? Whil e these are valuable in themselve s they become much more valuable when there i s a wider basi s for comparison I know everyone i s busy I know that it wil l take at least a couple of hour s if you tackle the questionnaire at one sitting I know that it i s askin g a lot to expect you to recollect som e of the seemingl y finicky details but we want as representative a picture as possible , s o please, PLEAS E retrieve your questionnaire from the bottom drawer, the top of the piano, the correspondence file the pending tray the back of the dresse r or wherever else you thrus t t and transport yoursel f back, for and hour or so to your days at M.L.C Everyone has something to contribute A s Mis s Flockar t used to tell Choir, "Th e humble penny^pleces make up the pound" s o don't try excusin g yoursel f on the ground s of having little to contribute If you were there for only a brief time how did M.L.C compare with the other school s you attended? If you were mainly at Elsternwlc k M.L.C don't let that be an excuse either It has been suggested that any material of relevance to the latter might be passed on there once I have finishe d with it
Yo u may prefer, rather than keeping within the physical confine s of the questionnaire, to answer the question s on a separate sheet of paper simpl y referring to them by number
Apart from the questionnaire and in addition to it, do any of you have letters from schoo l friend s or teachers which you would be willin g to lend me or perhaps to let me make photostat copies of any relevant material? Woul d any of you be prepared either to lend me diarie s from your schoolday s or to make excerpts from them for me? Thes e would be particularly valuable in helping to recapture the flavour of the occasion as seen by someone on the spot
Thos e of you who are studying teaching writing or reading history , especially the histor y of Victoria in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century may have valuable suggestion s to make regarding source materials for the social and intellectual histor y of the time Please sen d these — AN D THOS E QUESTIONNAIRE S
to Mrs A G Zainu'ddin , 803 Whitehors e Road, Mont Albert, Victoria 3127 or to Mrs M Roennfeldt (Mimi Yees), 20 Sunhil l Road, Lowe r Templestowe , Victoria 3107 and if those addresse s (and names!) are too difficult to remember then sen d them c/o Mis s B Sutton, M.L.C., marking the envelope SCHOO L HISTORY Remember "Lif e and time wil l not delay Tim e i s running fast away Lif e i s now today today " s o don't you delay either but SEN D I N YOU R QUESTIONNAIR E as soo n as you can

Thi s year we invited the ladies of the Pleasant Hou r Group, connected to the Richmon d and Collingwood Combined Methodist Mission , to be our guest s on the occasion of our annua outing to benefit som e people who may not be as fortunate as ourselves On the day itself, we were dogged by the shower y conditions, but thi s failed to diminis h the enthusias m of the guest s o r the drivers , and we proceeded to the Dandenongs for the afternoon
Th e Dandenongs even on a wet day hold the wonderfu atmospher e of space clean fres h air and visua l beauty—a beauty s o often taken as a matter of course by the rushin g relentles s crowd, too bus y to stop and really look at the heritage of beauty we have been given
Whe n one has thi s opportunity to return to suc h an environment and see in the faces of the ladies obviousl y s o delighted the simpl e pleasure gained from viewing the panoramic sight s and the wonderful old tree s one feel s very humble
After a lovely afternoon tea, in the warm homely surrounding s of "Kenloch " we reluctantly turned our thoughts and cars towards home, and the safe return of our charges Personall y 1 feel we had more than an outing — we had a fellowshi p with nature, and thank s go to the ladies who s o readily made thi s possible

Owing to the loss of a government subsidy we are unable to publish a second edition of Silver and Green this year
This supplement is issued in order to bring you those reports and photos which were not printed in the July edition We regret that in future it will only be possible to print one edition of Silver and Green each year

1971 has indeed been a year of growing succes s for the S.R.C This I think has been mainly due to the fact that S.R.C member s have realized the sphere s of the school in which the S.R.C may have influence Th e formation of variou s sub-committees withi n the S.R.C to investigate heating in the school , fire dril l systems a bookstall to sel second-hand books and a newssheet has given S.R.C member s more to concern themselve s with than jus t meetings every two or three weeks
During second term, the publication of our firs t news-sheet, "UMI" , revived the interest of the students in the S.R.C which wa s slowl y beginning to die W e are hoping that next year thi s news-sheet may expand and be produced on a regular basis
It must be remembered that any organization needs support, not jus t of committee member s but of all whom it s activities wil l influence Thi s i s something whic h in a large schoo l suc h as M.L.C i s hard to foster but which I am sur e wil l increase as student s realize that t s for thei r benefit, and in their interest s that the S.R.C exists
Finally , on behalf of the S.R.C members, I would like to thank Mis s Sutto n for her continuing interest and help throughout the year and Mr Woodgate for hi s support and encouragement Th e Presiden t of the S.R.C for both firs t and second terms , Nadine Fisher , who i s now on an A.F.S scholarshi p in America, mus t be trul y thanked for her leadership which wa s a rea sourc e of inspiratio n for both the Executive and the S.R.C as a whole
I am confident that next year and all future years wil l be really beneficial and successfu l one s as the S.R.C grow s and matures in it s outlook

One of the great successe s of the musical year was the Senio r Music Recital Thi s year it had a professiona air and attracted a larger audience than ever before Th e performer s wore individual evening dresse s and the programme consiste d of smal recitals of sol o and ensemble work s for strings woodwind instruments pianoforte and voice as well as the Senio r Orchestra Choir and Madrigal Group
Al l thos e who took part in the Senio r Hous e Musi c Contest were glad of the second term holiday s to recover from their successful , yet strenuous , efforts — especially because of the new instrumental section Thi s year, we were fortunate in having Professo r Loughli n to adjudicate Th e writer s wil l restrain themselve s fro m making detailed comments about the succes s of a certain Hous e and simpl y say that whil e Berr y and Nevile each won one trophy, Krom e won the other five!
We were very pleased indeed with the standard of wor k presented at both the Middle and Lowe r Middle Schoo l Musi c Recitals Th e individual instrumental item s and the smal l ensembles were uniforml y excellent, as were the performances by the Secon d Orchestra, the Form s III , I I and Lowe r Middle Schoo l Choirs and the For m II I and For m II Madrigal Groups Th e Middle Schoo l Hous e Choral Contest wa s also a great succes s and the results , as judged by Mr Warre n Thompson , provided an exciting finish , with Nevile Hous e winning by one mark
Th e Senio r Madrigal Group has had a full programme thi s year Togethe r wit h organist Mis s Constance Mellor, they provided the entertainment at one of the Sunda y afternoon Tow n Hall concerts
A programme of Baroque music wa s also prepared for the Adult Education Centre and, after a delay due to the workin g of the lift which meant running up four flight s of stairs , the afternoon wa s a breathtaking success ! Th e last performance thi s year before Speech Night wa s the Combined Schools Concert in which the Madrigal Group, M.L.C.-Wesle y Chorale and M.L.C.-Wesle y Bach Singer s performed, and som e member s of our Orchestr a accompanied the combined singin g which featured two of our girl s singin g sol o parts
Th e highligh t of the year was of course the "Messiah " performed with Scotch College at the Tow n Hal l to a large and appreciative audience Many compliment s were received (and wel deserved) by both Mis s Elto n and Mr Logie-Smit h and the record i s evidence of the excellence of the performance
Internal Leaving Musi c Practical Exam s were held for the firs t time thi s year and thirty-three girl s took thi s subject in solosinging pianoforte flute clarinet oboe Frenc h horn and organ with very pleasing results Ther e i s stil l a need however for more girl s to learn instruments , especially 'cello, strin g bas s and bassoon W e are pleased that thi s year the Orchestr a wil l be accompanying the three final song s at Speech Night
Congratulations to all girl s in Choir, Madrigals and Orchestr a who were awarded Schoo l colours and special thank s to all the Musi c Staff and to one whos e wor k usuall y goes unnoticed the secretary, Mis s Gairns W e would like to welcome Mis s Vera Bradford, well-know n pianist, who joine d our staff in Ter m II I when Mrs Mather s moved to Queensland and farewell Mrs Rosemeyer who wil l be overseas in 1972 and Mr Meighan who i s joinin g the Opera Orchestra Mis s Peer s Coetmore i s returning from oversea s and wil l rejoi n our staff to teach 'cello
Th e two Schoo l Orchestra s have performed splendidl y under the baton of Mr Van Ernst and warm thank s are given to Mrs Runge and Mrs Pownal l for their conducting of the Middle and Lowe r Middle Schoo choral groups
Finally thank s are due to our Musi c Director Mis s Elton who with unfailing energy has efficiently organized the pupil s learning musi c subject s thi s year, conducted senio r choir and madrigals, as well as teaching Musi c Histor y and Literature Everyone from the musi c schoo l would like to extend to her on the occasion of her approaching marriage, best wishe s for the future

Congratulations to thos e of you who have continued reading thi s and not uttered groan s o r suppresse d mirth Thos e we are referring to are probably the very same 20 o r 2 5 girl s who regularly come to S.C.M meetings Th e support for S.C..

A very successfu l walk-a-thon wa s held at the beginning of the year and several guest speaker s were invited to lead our meetings Thi s half-hour every second Wednesday is for som e girls , a time for fellowshi p and thought-provoking discussion , and it give s you a chance to enter into debate on controversia l mora issues
W e sincerel y hope that the support wil l be better next year, and that the leaders wil l inspir e you to go along and find out for yourselve s how rewarding it is
JENN Y DERWEN T and BRONWY N AMBROS E (Joint Secretaries )
Sinc e the beginning of M.L.C a shor t mid-week devotiona service has been a part of it s life During thi s year, a smal l group of staff and students ha s found considerable help n meeting for prayer and reflection before schoo l each Wednesday
A wide variety of theme s has been used to form our meditation and prayer for others Wit h the Bibl e in one hand and the daily newspaper n the other, we have attempted to be identified with what God i s doing in the world Racial understanding and co-operation has been the mos t frequent topic for attention and we have learned to appreciate more fully the needs of Australia n Aborigines
W e have welcomed opportunitie s for silen t prayer in which refreshment and a new sens e of direction may be discovered and we would like to recommend thi s voluntary part of our schoo life to all students and staff
Thi s year the United Nation s Association through variou s activities, has successfull y raised over $130 Som e of thi s amount was obtained from our day at the zoo, which involved the U.N member s taking children from Collingwood State Schoo l to the zoo Thi s event wa s thoroughl y enjoyed by all Other functions suc h as numerou s luncheon s and discussions , film s and guest speaker s also contributed to our year' s activities
In second term, we were very sorr y to lose our President , Nadine Fisher , but we wil l be glad when sh e return s next year after being on an American Fiel d Scholarship
Our present leader Helen Eva and Mr Lim our adviser have been very helpful in guiding our thoughts more towards the worl d problem s today, one of which i s racial discrimination , our theme of the year
Next year we hope to have more member s and therefore more activities from which many would benefit I would like to thank everyone who helped continually during the year with donations of time and money and to say that it wa s all very worthwhile FION A SCOTT Secretary

Thos e hungry for culture, but more particularly those studying H.S.C Literature, have had a ful l and diverse programme of theatre entertainment thi s year Th e late Si r Tyron e Guthrie' s production of Sophocles Oedipus Rex opened our year, followed by the opportunity of seeing Olivier as Othello, the film versio n of Shakespeare' s play whil e jus t recently we were able to contrast that with the Viaduct's admirable production of the same play Th e Viaduct theatre has proved very consisten t n it s production of syllabu s plays — Sophocles ' Antigone and the light-herated School for Scandal by Sheridan Possibl y the highlight s of the year' s productions were the Russel Street production of King Lear and the theatre in the round' s interpretation of Bertolt Brecht' s The Good Woman of Setzuan. Th e superbl y sustaine d quality and the authentic rendering of Brechtian theatre wa s both provoking and very involving in a very original way, while Russel l Street' s les s Brechtian but very polished performance of Galileo gave u s a wider visio n of Brecht' s most significant work
Th e musical section of the Senio r Societ y began the year with a concert given by Scotch College where the orchestr a which toured Asi a performed and the choir also gave excerpts We were also able to attend another serie s of the Australia n Opera On five Saturday afternoons we saw the brilliant productions of La Boheme, Turandot, The Masked Ball, Faust and Otello (a number of ticket s found their way to Literature student s for thi s last performance)
Th e schoo l wa s also able to procure ticket s for the matinee performances of the ballets and we were lucky enough to see Dame Margot Fonteyn dancing with Garth Welc h in Raymonda. We have two more ballets to look forward to yet — one of these being La Fille mal Gardee.

Debating commenced thi s year with a student-staff challenge Messrs Bradshaw , Harmswort h and Herbert establishe d clearly that teachers' salarie s shoul d not be trebled A second debate wa s held n third term I prefer to believe the student s narrowly defeated the staff, although many held that the resul t wa s open to question Debate continues as to whether the staff shoul d consis t of unmarried person s only
In the Inter-Schoo Debating Competition the schoo l team Nadine Fisher , Su e Kenny, Jenn i Matkovich — wa s accredited victoriou s against Ivanhoe Grammar, P.L.C., and St Leonard's W e lost to Xavier Throughout Mr Goodwin' s trul y Barassi-lik e coaching wa s an inspiration for which we are very grateful
We congratulate Angela Komino s for her very amusin g speech which won the Oratory Contest thi s year Congratulations are also due to al Inter-Hous e debaters for the generally high standard of debates Nevile and Fitchett were placed equal first , and we thank Mr Woodgate and Mis s Sutto n for thei r thoughtful adjudication
During the year the humanitie s met the science s in debate with the resul t that the science s won A little later Mr Goodwin very kindl y invited Dr Cave and Mr Mark Quir k to speak with u s on debating Thei r advice wa s invaluable and we greatly enjoyed their talks
Our fifth former s have also had a successfu l year The y convincingly defeated a St Leonard' s team recently and indeed at one debate vanquished the schoo l team Fo r adjudicating in thi s instance, we thank Mr Lauchlan Chipman Th e traditiona fifthform debates have also been encouraging and congratulations go to S.V.A for their victory
Th e schoo team would like to thank it s fifth form supporter s for their loyalty, and we wis h them a very enjoyable '72' s debating Again we thank Mr Goodwin for hi s enthusiastic leadership

1971 has been a year of review and alteration in the organization policies of S.S.A.A.F and it i s hoped that communication with secondary school s in Victoria, which has been lagging badly, wil l be revitalized over the next twelve months A mobile culture unit i s at present being compiled and it i s hoped that it wil be ready to begin visitin g school s at the beginning of the 1972 schoo l year
Th e large-scale Wal k and Pop Concert held n March of thi s year raised $25,000 minu s cost s of approximately $7,500 Ther e were almost 20 0 walker s from M.L.C and between them they raised over $1,200 which was a tremendou s effort Th e Annual General Meeting held once again in the Souther n Cros s Ballroom was well attended Th e organization i s now run by a joint Executive-Management Committee consistin g of elected student representatives 3 nominees and several trustees

Th e meetings of the Philosoph y Club thi s year have tended to centre around the theme of Existentialism Roughl y speaking, thi s i s the trend of thought — particularly noticeable in Europ e — in which great stres s i s laid on the freedom and individuality of each person, and on the need for each human being to shape hi s or her life in a deeply persona and authentic way Thi s need also require s a recognition of the same statu s of personhood (freedom and responsibility ) in others
We have been most fortunate in having had as our visitin g speaker s — Dr Max Charlesworth , Professo r H R Wardlaw and Mr Lauchlan Chipman, from the Universit y of Melbourne
Dr Charleswort h spok e on Frenc h Existentialism , concentrating on the wor k of Jean-Paul Sartre ; Professo r Wardlaw outlined the life and thought of the German Existentialis t Kar l Jaspers ; and Mr Chipman presented recent trend s in Anglo-American thought that tended to contrast sharpl y with the wor k being done on the Continent
Th e club would like to extend it s thank s to Mr Goodwin for hi s invaluable leadership and assistanc e in organisin g the speaker s throughout the year, and in also contributing hi s own ideas to our discussions

Thi s year it i s a pleasure to report that the Team s won more games than were lost We started the season very well in both the "A " and "B " Teams by winning the first three matches against M.C.E.G.G.S. Lauriston and Korowa respectively However perhaps practising two nights weekly slowly exhausted us for there followed a defeat of the "A" s by Th e Hermitage and a defeat of the "B" s by Morongo Rumour has it that the Geelong girl s have porridge for breakfast!
After their first defeat the "A" s managed to sharpen up and overcome Morongo St Catherine's and Wesley (although referring to the latter I doubt thi s win describes the standard of our play) Once again the Old Reliables (P.L.C.) vanquished the "A" s and we suffered a further defeat by Genazzano Th e "B" s won against St Catherine's and P.L.C. but lost to Strathcona and Genazzano
Th e teams had a most enjoyable season and I should again like to thank Mrs Maddison for her continued support, advice and work for our benefit Thank s must also go to every team member for her hard work and enthusiasm and to emergencies, who saved the day on more than one occasion Green blazers were awarded to Bronwyn Shor t and myself
I think the Tenni s prospects look very bright for next year and hope that many starters will turn up for the first practice at the beginning of 1972 Perhaps you could start practising now !
LESLE Y FEDDERSE N
P S An unexpected afternoon of Tenni s came our way on Show Day when the Senio r "A"s ware invited to play the Old Collegians It was most enjoyable and we hope it wil become an annual event

JEWEL L LAWTON
My house notes last term were shor t and sweet, but you haven't heard the end of me yet
A s Aths had not been held, I had little chance to expres s my absolute rapture in your spiri t and co-operation If only there had been a cup for Hous e Spirit , then we would have seen our Aths Captain Peta Tourna y beaming from ear to ear
In second term we decided it was our term and we set out to prove it W e had a close time in debates and oratory but were disappointed to find the points not in our favour Hockey Tabl e Tenni s and Netball followed and although we didn't star in hockey our netball and table tenni s teams did extremely well And then stop smilin g KROM E — your real ability showed through and (amazingly enough after house assembl y hymns! ) you sweetly sun g your way to victory in the Senio r Choral s with no les s than 5 beautiful cups W e thank our leaders, Jane Stubb s and Rowena Dowel and our competent pianist s who played s o well And s o ended second term with KROM E in third place onl y 3 smal points behind Berry
Thir d term' s efforts include Cricket, Volleyball and Squash , and with the magnificent teams and their respective captains I see nothing but victorie s ahead of us
And once again KROME' s voices sound Thi s time our Juniors led expertly by Gleni s Dowel take second position and I thank all of you for suc h good work
And now I would like to thank Mrs Carlo s and Mrs Duncan for their help during the year in Hous e Assemblie s and also to
"United we stand — divided we tall"
A s the year draws to a close Nevile can look back on a most enjoyable year even if it wa s not our most successfu l year
Second term started well with Su e Kenny gaining second place in the oratory contest and our debating team coming firs t under her leadership We finishe d thir d in basketbal and table tennis , thank s to Rosanne and Margaret's good work Our hockey team tried hard but the competition wa s too much; consequently we came fifth, but Chri s s to be congratulated on her tireles s efforts Th e choral contest proved to be more successfu l for us W e won the Hous e Choir Cup and overall came third Our musi c makers Jenny, Kate, Jil l and Robyn, are to be congratulated on their wonderful work
Our junio r play came third and we thank Kathy Booth and the cast for their work Th e junior s must be congratulated on thei r outstanding performance, n gaining firs t place in the choral s under the baton of Louanne Ebert and pianist s Kare n and Marion Cutts
On June 6th Nevile' s house servic e wa s held Despite the lack of support, t was thoroughly enjoyed by those who attended and I am sur e the girl s appreciated the opportunity of worshippin g together as a house
Cricket Squas h and Volleyball are now under way and it i s most pleasing to see the support from juniors I know Chris , Ann and Judy are hoping for success
I would like to thank Mrs Ashton Mis s Wilkinson and other staff member s for thei r interest and enthusias m throughout the year Finall y I must thank Anne for her willin g assistanc e and all girl s who have participated I trus t that every Nevile gir l has found som e enjoyment and satisfaction fro m participation in house activities I wis h you all the best of luck n the future

Cricket Squas h and Volleyball owe much to thei r captains
Kathy John Beth Pearce and Raelene Arney Our squas h team won every event as did our volleyball with the exception of one draw, owing to rain
Second ter m proved a very busy time, beginning with Birthday Night when the catering service showed that the boarders are not as starved as we try to make you believe Much wor k wa s done by our dance committee for our Boarders Dance, which was extremely successful Th e committee raised an enormou s amount of money and we sincerel y thank them for ail their work
Chapel Choir offers it s thank s to Mrs Katsika s and Mis s McCrae for their devoted wor k throughout the year and we also thank the strin g orchestr a and Old Collegians who assiste d n the presentation of "Staba t Mater"
